Halfway through the week

So first thing first the photo is of my couch potatoes. After the puppy ripped all the eyes off her plush toys (including her pillow pets which were her beds) she had to find a new place to sleep so she took up one of the cats spots. Excuse the hair on the cats blanket it has to get vacuumed daily. Monday I got early access to samples at PinchMe. I usually don’t get samples for months at a time so early access was awesome! I gave the puppy a bath and she must have been really upset with me as she wouldn’t cuddle with me after but sat with my son instead. Tuesday felt like a heat wave when it hit 47°F. Since I had to stop and get some groceries I went looking for two fairly new geocaches. I was only able to find one as there is still too much snow. It was my first geocache find for 2018. It had rained all night and all day before I went out so when I went down cellar to get some milk out of the freezer there was quite a bit of water. I bailed out 5 or 6 big buckets of water from where the old sump pump used to be. I got chosen to test out Arm & Hammer Slide Clumping Cat Litter from Smiley360 so I’m excited about that! Today around 1 my boyfriend asked if I could pick his son up from school and take him home. Looks like he got the bug from his dad that I was worried my daughter was going to catch.

That was warm for this time of year. I would love it if it was 95°F here! People here complain when it gets that warm in the summer but I love it!

@shaggin yep, 95f is my kind of temperature as well, of course I don't really mind 100+ all that much either as long as I have water to play in, I think even the cats might want to get wet but I'll wait with that.

@rebelann I hate going in the water. It has to be well above 90 for me to feel desperate enough to go in a creek or pool.

Any of them. Figure if I write more topics people can pick what they want to comment about. Posts with only one topic or that are very short are harder for me to think of comments to leave.

My boyfriend usually always comes over when he's sick it drives me nuts but thankfully we never catch it. I assume his son felt find when he dropped him off at the sitters at 5:30am. I had that happen once with my daughter and so was so embarrassed when she suddenly got sick out of no where at school. I would never have sent her had I know she would be sick. A geocache is a kind of container hidden for people to find (muggles are people who do not geocache so you try not to let them see what you are doing so the cache doesn't get stolen. You use an app and the gps on it or a handheld gps to locate the container. The one you saw was a nano sized one and it only has a rolled up piece of paper on to sign your name. I prefer a long hike in the woods to find an ammo can with trinkets inside to trade. A lot of times they take you to beautiful views like a waterfall etc.

She has a yeast common in puppies so she gets this awful musky smell to her, her belly gets a rash and pimples so I have to bathe her with a special shampoo to treat it. I'm supposed to do it twice a week but she gets dandruff so bad so I have only been doing it lately when she starts to stink bad.

@shaggin Aww, poor puppy. One of my parents' dogs gets a rash on her belly and has bad dandruff too. They also only bathe her when she stinks bad. If you so much as say the word "bath," the dogs start shaking and act scared. I guess they really don't like bath time.

@Gita17112016 the weather has been crazy going from -12°F to 60 to 20 within 3 days. This is very normal for my area though. I wished I lived in a tropical area!

The cat sleeps a lot and can only sit on one blanket at a time. The puppy is more territorial then the cat. If the cat sits on my daughters lap the puppy chases her off

I think your kitty looks more contented than your puppy. It sounds as though your day was physically much more active than mine. 47F sounds cold to me. It's in the 60's here. It's supposed to rain tomorrow, and we can use the rain here. I just hope there aren't any more mudslides in Montecito if it rains there, too. I plan to stay home tomorrow and blog, unless I can get an appointment to get my new heart monitor in place.

Some areas about an hour from me flooded. All that snow melting at once and heavy rain can be really bad! The puppy was laying strangely in the photo she sleeps in such odd ways it's funny. Not long after the photo the puppy jumped up ran over bit at the cat and barked. The cat hissed and swatted at her then curled right back up and went to sleep. She's an old sleepy girl.

Be careful if his son had the bug, you risk to spread it to your daughter. Your pup does not look very happy here.

That is why I didn't bring him here to my house but drive him to his house 5 miles or so from my house. Hopefully just by being in the car with him for 10 minutes I won't come down with it.

I was estimating the incubation time of when my daughter would come down with it and it should have been yesterday I believe so hopefully she is not going to come down with it. I wish he would stay away when he is sick he isn't a germ freak like I am though and doesn't even have soap in his bathroom so it's no wonder his son is sick
